How much compensation can I claim for a back injury in a shopping centre?

[Wendy]

I have suffered a personal injury from a slip and fall accident at a shopping centre that was not my fault and I would like to claim compensation.

I slipped and fell and injured my back, there were no hazard, warning or wet floor signs present and I reported the accident to management before going to hospital, I think the floor had recently been cleaned and mopped, could I claim compensation?

How much money would I be entitled to for a back injury and time off work from a slip and fall accident?

Hi Wendy,

Thank you for your inquiry. I am sorry to hear of your accident. From what you have explained, I am pleased to advise that you would qualify in making a personal injury claim.

We have to obtain what is known as a medico-legal report to support any claim for personal injury compensation. This is a straight forward process and we would take care of this and arrange the appointment for you. Once we have that report we would know how much your claim is likely to be worth. Generally speaking it depends on how long it takes you to recover. From the injuries you have explained, if the injuries last around 12 months than you could receive around £4,000, upwards.

We would accept your claim on a no win no fee basis.

Should you have any questions, please contact us on our online chat, or dial our free number (0800 073 8804). We will be happy to help!
